Hi, just a follow-up when I tried to repair the table I started the repair command. It was repaired OK, I run check table command and after a minute typed into the screen buffer next commands (because I thought it will give status OK. But no, because there was record pointing outside the table but the reported status was anyway OK (weird). I re-run the check table and it me *only* OK. So how did that record pointing outside got fixed? Or why did the first check table run report something untrue? Was the reason for that that I between those two CHECK TABLE commands switched the databases?
